.Lls A PETITION Emanuel Woods Wants a Creek Across His Farm Cleaned Out re. AND TELLS WHY Claims It Would Benefit All the Farms in That -< Locality E. Woods cd this tilT who owns a farm in Root township, filed * petition today is which he asks ih.t the cnte± which cresses his farm be ,X4te4 a-c cleaned «e that the water wiß be carried from his firm Mr. Woeds asserts that the ditch refuses to do its work and when a heavy rain comes the water overflows over his land ThLsurplus amount of water as compiate ri! r* is- drained from adeeming farms and Las so outlet hence the iarowmuence is caused.

In calling attentfam to the foriheoesing production of “The Little Detective” the manager point* with ccnstnendav’e pride ta the fact that he is t-ffsring for public approval a play that is not «xuy out os the ordinarynr of so-called scenic attractions, but that in point of dramatic esmstroetio® the play itself has no peer He realised that people are tired of that class of drama wherein the actor utters seme stereotyped heroic, and then poses tn a strained attitude that says plainly. “Please give me your applaxtse.” By so doing the lines mean nothing and the plot furnishes no afar quite - clue to the unraveling of the story: and as a result the play does not please because the audxesee wonders “what all the talk was about.” In The Litth* Deteet-lve” the ptot is placed in a succinct form, the lines reveal a motive and there js not a single iucoosistency in all its eonstmetios. It is a play Thar holds the audience by the beauty of its lines, the simplicity erf its plot, and the earoesttress of the story It is a play that wins on its true merit, and has been 1 success frox "2ie “The Li:Ue Deteettre - weZ be seen here a; the opera tesse c~i Jaawiy *7dL
